We don't play.............. I know that probably took everyone by complete surprise! It was mid-month when I accepted my job offer. The activity calendar had Bingo down twice a week, and to be honest, there's more to life than Bingo... I took a deep breath and announced the Bingo activity. Five people came and when I asked if we should wait for others, they said no one else liked it. I asked them if they really loved to play, or was Bingo a way to pass the time....... They replied, it passes the time. I suggested we have a group discussion/ Trivia in the place of Bingo to see if they would enjoy it . I started an "easy trivia " round to gather personal information, and to get an idea of their level of cognition. Trivia ( with 5 residents) varying in cognitive levels lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes! they loved it!
Needless to say, We don't do Bingo anymore!!
